To support the drywall in a house, load bearing walls require a stud every 1 1/3 feet. One load bearing wall in a new house is 8 feet long and another is 6.7 feet long. How many studs are in those walls?

Therefore the number of stud in those wall are= 8.5125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that load bearing walls required a stud every feet   feet.

To cover feet long wall needs 1 stud

Then the number of stud in 8  feet long wall are  

                                                                                = 6

Again  the number of stud in 6.7 feet long wall are  

                                                                                    = 2.5125

Therefore the number of stud in those wall are = (6+2.5125)

                                                                                  =8.5125

the answer to the expression is 83
